We did not drive away Tata from Singur but CPI-M did: Mamata Banerjee

KOLKATA: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee hits out at the left-inclined party on Wednesday and alleged the Communist Party of India (Marxist) of droving the Tatas out of Singur district.

"We did not drive away Tata from Singur but CPI-M did," CM said.

Mamata Banerjee while speaking at the 'Bijiya Sammilani' event, said, "We did not drive away Tata from Singur but CPI-M did." Adding that South Bengal & North Bengal are same.

"There is only one Bengal. We want peace, no need to think about any separation. We are all equal. Bongo(Bengal) needs Songo (togetherness) and not Vongho (Division)," Mamata said further.

CPI (M) and Mamata Banerjee are old rivals as Trinamool Congress came to power in 2011 after defeating the left government.
